Forbes ranking of colleges and universities

So will private unis that can't afford to give as much outright grant $ (thus rendering student debt necessary in order to attend) just not admit these poor students in order to up their rankings?

In terms of the actual COA of more expensive private schools vs publics, it's still about the same 3:1:rivateublic ratio that it was when I was in college decades ago.

Like any of the other rankings - some good choices, some bad ones. Overall, though, I think the US News are more accurate.
